The first team (completing their fixtures at Halton regional table tennis centre in Cheshire) won all 14 of their fixtures to secure the Division One title ahead of Hull and Cardiff.

Archway’s Adam Jepson from Whittlesey won the averages with an impressive 23 wins out of 28 matches played, helping the team to win promotion to the Championship Division next season – one step from the elusive Premier Division.
